what inspired you to create N.O.W.? - First of all, I have my own story & 33 years of remission from addiction that I share in person and on the air weekly. I made the choice to start the foundation after years of being unable to help people who could not afford quality treatment. Hard working families despite having insurance often have deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses that are too high. This often causes them to not enter into treatment. Also, the treatment industry is a difficult system to navigate. It's already difficult to pick up the phone and make the call for help, but then to get a voicemail or reach someone who simply cannot or chooses not to help you, is unacceptable. This may be the only call they ever make and the dope man always answers the phone.
